David tepper speaks.

I'm happy to hear he acknowledged the issues on the field and wasn't blind to how the defense progressed...or I should say regressed.  

As he said, this was his Rookie year, the people ready to crucify him are absurd.  Really excited to see what the next few years bring.

Hm

Emphasized good oline gives you great chance to win and we have to make it better.

Dont like him only saying positive things about rivera/hurney.

He seems very thoughtful but im not sure what exactly to glean from that.  It will be impressive if he actually manages to fix the oline and fix this discipline/time management issues he said he cares so much about. Because these have been systemic problems for the panthers for several years under Rivera.

  • Tepper has not had  8 years of watching a hypnotized RR on the sideline not calling a timeout  during the 2 minute drill until 10 seconds after the play ends, using a challenge flag after the coin toss, or watching the team blow leads because he can't make adjustments.

i loved it.  i appreciate the heck out of him finally doing a sit down, and while he did say ron was a good coach he was explicit about not wasting time or timeouts.  not 5 seconds, not 10 seconds.   that was actually a tongue whipping in the way successful people do it.   i'm feeling a lot better about him now.   thanks mr tepper.  no more bad jokes.

Seems like a very smart man obviously. Says he learned a lot and this is the first season he can really make an imprint... I'm curious what could he have learned about his "child" that would compel him to continue allowing Hurney and Ron Rivera to push its stroller? Must not value the life of this child very highly to send it to its inevitable doom.

    • yeah, now it's going to get awkward.  The team circles pay attention to all this stuff.  All the wives and girlfriends see the posts.  They all talk like everyone.  Football is just a normal world outside of the fact they play a game for lots of money.  Gossip travels. They know the Theilen's want out at this point.  Carolina is now the disappointed failed trade location.    So now AT takes sort of an inhouse hit in Carolina IMO  
    • Ummm... The dude looked like he was about 180 pounds soaking wet with us (I don't care what his listed weight was/is) - he would have been destroyed in the run game even more than our current and past crappy ILBs. The problem is we primarily play 3-4 or nickel/dime - there is little room on the field for him because he isnt an edge LB blitzer and he can't cover for crap. The only thing he can do kind of well is be an in-the-box safety that can try and beat blockers to the spot because of his athleticism. Washington was able to make him work last year because they used him solely as an in-the-box safety and almost exclusively ran a single high FS. The funny thing is they had good yards/game stats against the pass despite most of their secondary having embarrassingly low PFF grades. Washington was also terrible against the run, which might explain why they gave up so few yards passing.
    • Just get the deal done. We've teased it so much that the Thielen's expect it. Now we run the risk of our veteran WR locker room presence becoming disgruntled. Just take what we can get, make him happy, and get future assets while freeing up snaps for guys who will be here beyond this season.
